Overview
If you’re like us, then you believe that distributed teams are the future. With people from across the world, we can build amazing things from wherever we need to be in life. But remote work can feel … remote.
At Remotion we’re working to help distributed teams build incredibly collaborative culture. We believe that collaboration is best face-to-face, and brilliant ideas and moments of belonging are usually serendipitous. That’s why we’re building Remotion, a quick video chat app that puts your team on your desktop so you can see who’s free and jump into lightweight video chats.
Try Remotion for yourself. Then join us and shape the next generation of remote work.
About the team
We’re tech people who believe you can do your best work from anywhere. Our cofounders Alexander and Charley live in Brooklyn and Chicago, and our team hails from 8 cities, 4 continents and 6 time zones. We learnt how to build great products at companies like Google, Dropbox, Evernote, and Microsoft, and we’re well funded by early investors in Slack, Notion and Superhuman.
We’re a team that places user experience first. It doesn’t feel contrarian that we’re building native desktop apps instead of Electron apps. We’re proud of what you’ll experience if you try Remotion, and this is just the beginning.
We care about cultivating meaningful relationships with those around us. Ask us about “👋 Casual Chats”, “🚀 Demo Standups”, and “🕹Game Day”!
